If you support your decisions with map information, but need more content, choices and control, try the PYXIS Studio. Connect to a world of real-time sensors, cool map data, and space based measurements. The PYXIS Studio features robust data handling, content integration, and scientific analysis capabilities. It's so simple that it's used in classrooms where young students are learning geography. You don't know until you search the world.

Digital Earth is all about asking questions: "Where is it?" and "What is here?" It helps to communicate complex ideas more clearly and support informed and evidence-based decision-making. However, geospatial data requires the context of other geospatial data to be of value. For example, the locations of protected parklands are of much more value if combined with roads, rivers, schools, elevations, and land use. Combining and fusing data sources into a single product is a very very hard problem.

The PYXIS Studio is an intuitive and visually interactive method to discover authoritative sources of information while navigating a high fidelity representation of the Earth. The advantage of PYXIS Gallery online platform is that you can bring the content you need into your own Studio with a powerful search engine that helps you find information to describe physical things, places, and occurrences in the world. You discover and acquire the facts without expert assistance or pre-integrated solutions accessing over 30,000 authoritative data sources.
